I think this switch is a bit weird. I would say we should just always passive 
scan and only do active scanning when we are looking for a hidden AP. There is 
no good reason to make this a configuration option. The smarts should be in 
ConnMan and it should be as private as possible all the times.

Regards

Marcel
